The below video shows West German gymnast, Andreas Aguilar, performing the slowest, most strict muscle-up we've ever seen. From our perspective, where muscle-ups are one of the most difficult manuevers to perform, Aguilar's muscle-up is beyond amazing. As crossfitters we are accustomed to watching athletes kip into the muscle-up. Aguilar moves from below the rings to above the rings so slowly with zero wasted motion that if you're not paying attention or you can't comprehend the difficulty of the muscle-up, you may not appreciate this great feat of strength!
